It didn’t take long for Albert Haynesworth to find a new home. A day after the defensive tackle was released by the New England Patriots, ESPN reports he was claimed off waivers by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

With major run defense issues in coach Raheem Morris' 4-3 scheme, the Bucs were desperate enough to take a chance on Hayensworth. There's a big void up front because, for the second consecutive season, 2010 first-round pick Gerald McCoy has gone on the shelf with a torn biceps.

The Bucs will probably look to plug the 350-pound Haynesworth into lineup for a good number of snaps on Sunday, given the fact they're facing the physical rushing attack of the Houston Texans. The Texans have been getting exceptional blocking up front, and it's been hard for opponents to slow the powerful combination of Arian Foster and Ben Tate.
